L’Oeil des Jeunes

16. October 2007 by admin.

Here’s where I spend most of my days at L’Oeil des Jeunes. It’s a monthly publication for the youth of Ouaga that applies to the problems of youth participation in social, cultural and political life.

Our street actually has a name! The neighbourhood is called 1200 logements.

Our office building is under construction, the third floor has yet to be built.

The stairwell that leads up to the non-existant third floor.

A hole in the stairwell for a would-be window.

Our offices on the second floor.

Marguerite, the secretary who does much more than greet visitors. Her computer needs an upgrade. So, whoever is willing to make a donation, let me know. She’s working on a 256 loaded with Windows XP and a mouse ball that constantly needs to be slammed on the desk.

She shares her office with Eric, who teaches SQL and PHP. An all around web guy.

Assomption, the graphic designer in the foreground working on a health website for an NGO.

Moussa, in the red shirt editing some photos.

And last but not least, my on-site supervisor Hamado. He has the funniest laugh ever.

And no, we don’t have an air conditioner.
